Research file is coming along good too!! I've got my comp shop that I did before, catwalk images from drapers men's milan catwalk, boys spring/ summer catwalk and had a look at some other fashion history bits... There is a lot that actually is in favour of the B-Scene brand!
PLANAGRAM!!!! Now I have seen the ranges on planagrams, I think they look good if they were to be in store :D After being visual merchandise trained in Evans, I miss merchandising the shop floor so doing it with my own range is brilliant! :D
I tried to get the iPhone app for my blog but it doesn't seem to work, which is a really disappointment!
So I have been forgetting to write everything on here :(
But since I wrote on here last I have started my job with New Look :D and loving it!!
Surprisingly I am finding it easy to split my time between work and FMP, so at the moment I am not as stressed as I probably should be!!
I am concentrating on my sourcing side of the assignment and actually knew more than I thought... Maybe my brain is a bit of a sponge after all!!
I feel like I'm getting somewehere now I have finished my ranges :) Below is the Cadet Academy trend, I wasn't sure about this trend to start with but actually I now LOVE IT!!

After creating the range I have also done my pricing triangles....

Had a brain wave todayyyyy!!!
After being told to change the name of my range... I thought of a catchy yet edgey feel, it is now called... B-Scene :D
My slogan is 'Because Every Lad Wants To B-Scene In Topman' It s unique, different and stands out, therefore fits in well with the Topman feel
So went in to speak with my tutor today and she said that 143 options was way to much!! I showed her the spread sheets I had done and she said that the space of the store is too big and that Topman would never give that much space to a new brand...... Back to the drawing board!

It did kind of work out, I changed the space to 12cm2 (which is smaller) and the options went down :D I now have to create just 79 options!!
I am still sticking with the three trends I have chosen :)
